Good question. I've also seen 'em around, but personally I won't use any spalted wood for a food item, just to be on the safe side.

Pepper grinders
I lived in Tassie for a few years and they sell them everywhere. at all the markets , galleries, so people from all walks of life are still living, because I have met people on there return trips.

Tasmanian Craftwoods have been turning & selling them for years through galleries and craft outlets.
These are produced on the old copy lathe that originally produced the Titan chisel handles at Stanley-Titan Hobart.Kev
